How to locate folders with a childfilecount:N of a child:<match> pattern?

[raccoon]

It would seem that childfilecount: only counts _all_ folder content, and not just the results of the matching pattern.

Say I want to locate all folders that contain only 1 but not 2 .jpg files, my first instinct is:

`child:.jpg childfilecount:1`

But this is invalid, as it's not counting only the .jpg files, but all other the files within.

Are any solutions possible?

Correct.
childfilecount: finds folders in the ENTIRE index with the specified number of files.

To find folders with exactly 1 jpg file, please try the following:

• In Everything, type in the following search:
  ext:jpg
• From the File menu, click Export....
• Change Save as type to: EFU Everything File List.
• Choose a filename and click Save.
• From the File menu, click Open File List....
• Select the file list you saved above and click Open.
• Type in the following search:
  childfilecount:1
• When you are finished with the results, close the file list:
• From the File menu, click Close File List.
